4 bedroom detached house for sale

This MATURE DETACHED CHALET BUNGALOW has been a loved home to our clients family nearly 40 years, enjoying an open outlook across the surrounding area. The versatile accommodation would comfortably afford primary living space to the ground floor, with two additional double bedrooms and bathroom to the first floor. Patio doors from the dining room lead into the attractive rear garden, being enviably level for the elevated plot, and gated access to the driveway parking and garage.

The property is enviably positioned within easy reach of a host of highly regarded schools including Shiphay Academy, Sherwell Valley Primary School and Torquay’s acclaimed Grammar Schools. Torbay Hospital is found approximately half a mile distance, and swift access can be gained onto the South Devon Expressway, ideal for those commuting toward the regional city of Exeter or beyond.

OWNER INSIGHT

"Mum & Dad sold their hotel and retired to Rougemont Avenue in 1986 and they absolutely adored their home. Our mum was such a keen gardener, and would spend each day all day in the garden if she could, even to the point she was reluctant to ever go away and leave it unattended. Over their near forty year ownership they saw a lot of change, although many of the direct neighbours seem to have stayed for similar longevity. The convenience of Cadewell is part of what makes it so popular, just a short walk to Torbay Hospital and easy access to schools, The Willows, and arterial roads across or outside the bay. It will be a sad day when we close the door for the final time, but hope the next owners enjoy as many wonderful memories as our family."
